Hell

“Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come;
It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth;
It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

For

Topheth has long been ready,

Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,

A pyre of fire with plenty of wood;

The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.

As sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol to consume

So that they have no habitation.

Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.

So that he does not stay at home.

And he is like death, never satisfied.

And collects to himself all peoples.

brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they descend alive into Sheol, then you will understand that these men have spurned the Lord.”

Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;

He that rejoiceth

My mind reels, horror overwhelms me;
The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

Let them go down alive to Sheol,
For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

As stubble completely withered.
